Hello,
I tried to upgrade to Version 3.1.1, especially for the announced use of the
cursor Arrow-Keys, but (on a pure 64-bit Slackware 14.0 with Java):
tar -vxf picoLisp-3.1.1.tgz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Ark managed to extract something (albeit a warning/error message) but e.g. the
INSTALL file was missing and the build failed:
cd src64
make
make: *** No rule to make target `sysdefs.c', needed by `sysdefs'. Stop.
I then tried to downgrade to the old 3.1.0 Version but discovered that the now
downloadable http://software-lab.de/picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz (same errors as 3.1.1)
differed from a picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz (downloaded some time ago) I had on an
external harddisk:
cmp picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz /home/ego/EINGANG/picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz
picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz /home/ego/EINGANG/picoLisp-3.1.0.tgz differ: byte 5, line 1
[length is identical 819677 bytes]
In my opinion archived versions should not be changed (except by malicious
hackers); With the 3.1.0 Version from my harddisk the build (using Java/ersatz)
succeeded.
I find PicoLisp very interesting and hope to realize some little projects with
it.
